This is Nellie of The Woods grandson! He was born 7 weeks early but was only in ICU for a week and home within another week! He's continued to make good progress so hopefully he will continue to do so. My last Inset Training as a teacher was about how many children who struggled at primary and secondary school and were labelled problem/badly behaved/inattentive, were of a high percentage premature births. They have  distinct learning difficulties which up until recently went undiagnosed. His mother is a Dr and his father a nurse so I think they are well aware of things to look out for. 
When Nellie took him in her arms and sang to him he gave the most beautiful smile! She and Barry have given them their house and have moved in to the one room dwelling they built for them in their garden before she got pregnant until they find a house to buy. The one they had started to buy the owner took off the market as it was all too stressful for her! They are looking to buy in nearby Tavistock, and with the younger son now living in their old house and renovating it, and her other son living about an hour away in a coastal village, and his partner now also pregnant, Nellie has all her family close by. I think it's a testament to them that their children have all chosen to move back close to them as they enter their 30's. Not all families are troubled!
